Although the above statement sounds exceedingly obvious, the fact of the matter is many software projects lack customer input. Consider the following example:
Week 0: Red, our friendly project mangler, is in charge of the next release of his organization's flagship product. For the past 3 months, Product Management has been meeting with existing and potential customers to determine which incremental features should be added to the existing release. After gathering those requirements, the one and only Product Manager wrote an SRS (Software Requirements Specification) that has now been handed over to Red.
Week 1: After reviewing the SRS, Product Development's first cut of the project estimates it will take between 30 to 34 person-months to meet all of the requirements. Red's budget only accounts for 25 person-months.
Week 2: Red's top priority is to scrub the requirements. Unfortunately, the Product Manager, who just ramped up a hard 3 months, took a well-deserved vacation. He'll be back in 1 week. To get his team going, Red decides to prioritize the requirements himself and cut a few features
So you are a business owner or a customer service representative and you have a customer who is calling you with a complaint or a problem with your product or service? What should you do about your customer and their call?The first thing to do when your customer calls with a complaint is to stop; that is to defy everything that your brain, your heart, and your emotions tells you to do.

Many professionals believe that their resumes are ignored because they are “missing” critical skills that an employer is seeking, and therefore they should pack every detail into the document. This kind of thinking leads job seekers to use a "general resume" because they don't want to limit themselves to only one job type.While wanting an employer to see all your qualifications is completely understandable, this type of resume is often unsuccessful. Why? Hiring managers are inundated with resumes, calls from job seekers,

Remember That Brand? Well It’s Back! One would have to travel to the back woods of the Appalachians or perhaps to the cave dwellings in the Southwestern canyons to find anyone who has not heard of Viagra. Viagra, the market-leader of male erectile dysfunction prescription drugs, continues to occupy valuable space in the mind of the male consumer. What is so enchanting about an erectile dysfunction pill? How does Viagra have such appeal when it is the focus of late night comedy and radio morning shows? As consumers we seldom question a successful

To get his team going, Red decides to prioritize the requirements himself and cut a few features that he doesn't feel are necessary.
Week 3: Another week has gone by and the Product Manager is back from his vacation, well rested. After spending most of the day going through his inbox, he stumbles across an email from Red informing him that the I18N feature will not make it in this release given the budget constraints. The Product Manager is fuming. “This feature has been committed to a customer and MUST be in the product!” On this note, he leaves for Europe to meet with a huge potential customer.
Week 4: Red is still over budget, and needs to add I18N back in the product. The Product Manager made it very clear that I18N was expected by a customer, but didn't explain which other features were of lesser priority. Red hopes that he can settle everything when the Product Manager comes back from Europe early next week.
